Objectives This study aimed to assess the effect of age and osteoporosis on the proliferative and differentiating capacity of bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in female rats. We also discuss the role of these factors on expression and migration of cells along the C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR-4) / stromal derived factor 1 (SDF-1) axis. Methods Mesenchymal stem cells were harvested from the femora of young, adult, and osteopenic Wistar rats. Cluster of differentiation (CD) marker and CXCR-4 expression was measured using flow cytometry. Cellular proliferation was measured using Alamar Blue, osteogenic differentiation was measured using alkaline phosphatase expression and alizarin red production, and adipogenic differentiation was measured using Oil red O. Cells were incubated in Boyden chambers to quantify their migration towards SDF-1. Data was analyzed using a Student’s t-test, where p-values < 0.05 were considered significant. Results CD marker expression and proliferation of the MSCs from the three groups was not significantly different. The young MSCs demonstrated significantly increased differentiation into bone and fat and superior migration towards SDF-1. The migration of SDF-1 doubled with young rats compared with the adult rats (p = 0.023) and it was four times higher when compared with cells isolated from ovariectomized (OVX) osteopenic rats (p = 0.013). Conclusion Young rat MSCs are significantly more responsive to osteogenic differentiation, and, contrary to other studies, also demonstrated increased adipogenic differentiation compared with cells from adult and ostopenic rats. Young-rat-derived cells also showed superior migration towards SDF-1 compared with MSCs from OVX and adult control rats. Cite this article: A. Sanghani-Kerai, L. Osagie-Clouard, G. Blunn, M. Coathup.

Abstract Notch, expressed on hematopoietic progenitors plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) express both, Notch and its ligand Jagged and are known to support self renewal of hematopoietic progenitors via cell-cell contact and cytokine secretion. The Jagged/Notch signaling pathway has been implicated in the differentiation process of MSC, however it is not completely understood and current observations are contradictory. In order to analyze the effect of Notch signaling on human MSC differentiation we constructed lentiviral vectors that contained either the GFP-marker gene, hJagged1 IRES GFP, hNotch1 intracellular domain (NICD) IRES GFP or a gene fusion between dominant negative Mastermind1 (MAML1dn - inhibitor of Notch signaling) and the Cherry reporter gene. Primary hMSC that were obtained from bone marrow of 3 different donors were transduced with respective lentivirus vectors to greater than 98%. After exposure to adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation stimuli hMSC differentiation was quantified by Alizarin red or oil red staining, alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and expression levels of adipogenic or osteogenic markers by Real-time PCR. Jagged1 transduced hMSC demonstrated enhanced calcium phosphate deposits and enhanced AP activity and expression levels in osteogenic differentiation medium, while adipogenic differentiation was strongly inhibited as quantified by oil red staining and low mRNA expression of genes upregulated during adipogenic differentiation (pprY, Fabp4). Similarly, overexpression of NICD induced strong and rapid osteogenic differentiation while inhibiting adipogenic differentiation and reducing cell viability. Moreover, NICD overexpression upregulates the expression of endogenous Jagged1 up to 5-fold. Inhibition of Notch signaling via overexpression of MAML1dn partially blocked the effect of hJagged1 and NICD in co-transduction experiments. In another approach MSC samples obtained from 20 donors with various osteogenic differentiation potential as measured by AP activity were analyzed for Notch1 and Jagged1 expression. While there was no correlation between AP activity and Notch1 levels we observed a significant positive correlation for AP activity and Jagged1 expression. In summary, our data strongly suggest that increased Jagged/Notch signaling enhances the osteogenic differentiation of hMSC while inhibiting their adipogenic fate.

This study was to determine whether microRNA (miRNA)-126 regulates osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Rat BMSCs were extracted and stimulated for osteogenic differentiation. Functional experiments were conducted to assess miR-126’s impact on BMSCs differentiation. Western blot and RT-qPCR determined miR-126 expression. ALP activity detection and alizarin red staining detection were also performed. After osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, miR-126 expression was gradually decreased over time. Overexpression of miR-26 decreased ALP activity, Notch signaling activity as well as declined Runx2 expression and calcium Salt nodules after treatment. Importantly, we found that Smad4 serves as a target of miR-126 while upregulation of the miRNA was accompanied with the decreased Smad4 protein expression without affecting the Smad4 mRNA level. In conclusion, miR-126 restrains osteogenic differentiation through inhibition of SMAD4 signaling, providing a novel insight into the mechanism.

AbstractMultipotent porcine mesenchymal stem cells (pMSC) are indispensable for research and therapeutic use. Derivation and culture media might affect the selection of MSC subpopulation and thus the differentiation potential of cells. In this study we evaluated the effects of αMEM, aDMEM, M199, αMEM/M199, aDMEM/M199 and αMEM/aDMEM media on porcine bone marrow MSC derivation; pre-differentiation expression of ALP, COL1A1, SPP1 and BGLAP osteogenic marker genes at passage 5 and 10 pMSC; and differentiation potential of passage 5 pMSC. Morphological changes and matrix formation in osteogenic cells were evaluated by microscopical examination and calcium deposit in osteocytes was confirmed by Alizarin Red S staining. Results indicated media independent selection of different bone marrow MSC subpopulations with different surface marker gene expressions. Many pMSC subpopulations in different media had CD14+ expressing cells. We also observed basal media dependent changes in osteogenic markers expression and differentiation potential of pMSC. The αMEM/aDMEM media grown pMSC showed best osteogenic differentiation potential. We thus recommended the testing of αMEM/aDMEM mixed media in other species for pre-differentiation MSC culture that are intended for better osteogenic differentiation.SummaryPre-differentiation basal media influence osteogenic differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Among the tested media, αMEM/aDMEM was the best for pre-differentiation porcine MSC culture intending to use in osteogenesis.

We aimed to explore the effects of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on osteogenic differentiation via analyzing miR-3148 expression in patients with osteoporosis. Realtime quantitative PCR was conducted for assessing microRNA-3148 expression. BMSCs from SD rats were transfected with microRNA-3148 mimics and microRNA-3148 inhibitor via liposomal trans-fection method utilizing Lipo2000, followed by analysis of microRNA-3148 level. After 10-days of osteogenic differentiation induction, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red (ARS) staining were done to investigate the osteogenic differentiation potential. Simultaneously, qRT-PCR measured the expression of osteogenesis marker genes (BMP and Runx2) in each group. qRT-PCR analysis revealed a high expression of miR-3148 in the bone tissue and the serum samples from patients with osteoporosis in comparison with healthy individuals. In addition, miRNA-3148 mimics could retard the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, while microRNA-3148 inhibitor could prompt the procedure. MicroRNA-3148 was highly expressed in the skeletal tissues and the serum samples from patients with osteoporosis and it could restrain the differentiation of BMSCs into osteoblasts, suggesting that it might be a novel therapeutic target for treating osteoporosis.

Bone regeneration is a complex process regulated by several factors that control overlapping biological processes, coordinating interactions among distinct cell populations. There is a great interest in identifying new strategies for inducing osteogenesis in a safe and efficient manner. Concentrated Growth Factor (CGF) is an autologous blood derived product obtained by centrifugation of venous blood following the procedure set on the Silfradent device. In this study the effects of CGF on osteogenic differentiation of human Bone Marrow Stem Cells (hBMSC) in vitro have been investigated; hBMSC were cultured with CGF or osteogenic medium, for 21 days. The osteogenic differentiation was evaluated measuring alkaline phosphatase (ALP) enzyme activity, matrix mineralization by alizarin red staining and through mRNA and protein quantification of osteogenic differentiation markers by Real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The treatment with CGF stimulated ALP activity and promoted matrix mineralization compared to control and seems to be more effective than osteogenic medium. Also, hBMSC lost mesenchymal markers and showed other osteogenic features. Our study showed for the first time that CGF alone is able to induce osteogenic differentiation in hBMSC. The application of CGF on hBMSC osteoinduction might offer new clinical and biotechnological strategies in the tissue regeneration field.

ABSTRACTMultipotent porcine mesenchymal stem cells (pMSC) are invaluable for research and therapeutic use in regenerative medicine. Media used for derivation and expansion of pMSC may play an important role for the selection of MSC subpopulation at an early stage and thereby, the specific basal medium may also affect differentiation potential of these cells. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the effects of αMEM, aDMEM, M199, αMEM/M199, aDMEM/M199 and αMEM/aDMEM media on (1) porcine bone marrow MSC derivation; (2) expression of number of osteogenic markers (ALP, COL1A1, SPP1 and BGLAP) at 5th and 10th passage in pMSC before differentiation; and (3) differentiation of pMSC (at 5th passage) to osteogenic lineage. Morphological changes and matrix formation in osteogenic cells were evaluated by microscopic examination. Calcium deposits in osteocytes were confirmed by Alizarin Red S staining. Based on expression of different markers, it was evident that selection of bone marrow pMSC subpopulations was independent of basal media used. However, the differentiation of those pMSCs, specifically to osteogenic lineage, was dependent on the medium used for expansion of pMSC at the pre-differentiation stage. We demonstrated here that the pMSC grown in combined αMEM/aDMEM (1:1) medium expressed number of osteogenic markers and these pMSC underwent osteogenic differentiation most efficiently, in comparison to porcine mesenchymal stem cells grown in other media. In conclusion, osteogenic differentiation potential of pMSC maintained in αMEM/aDMEM medium was observed significantly higher compared to cells cultivated in other media and therefore, the combined medium αMEM/aDMEM (1:1) may preferentially be used for expansion of pMSC, if needed for osteogenic differentiation.

The molecular mechanisms how bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) differentiate into osteoblast need to be investigated. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) contribute to the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. However, the effect of miR-346-5p on osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs is not clear. This study is aimed at elucidating the underlying mechanism by which miR-346-5p regulates osteogenic differentiation of human BMSCs. Results of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and Alizarin Red S (ARS) staining indicated that upregulation of miR-346-5p suppressed osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs, whereas downregulation of miR-346-5p enhanced this process. The protein levels of the osteoblastic markers Osterix and Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2) were decreased in cells treated with miR-346-5p mimic at day 7 and day 14 after being differentiated. By contrast, downregulation of miR-346-5p elevated the protein levels of Osterix and Runx2. Moreover, a dual-luciferase reporter assay revealed that Transmembrane Protein 9 (TMEM9) was a target of miR-346-5p. In addition, the Western Blot results demonstrated that the TMEM9 protein level was significantly reduced by the miR-346-5p mimic whereas downregulation of miR-346-5p improved the protein level of TMEM9. These results together demonstrated that miR-346-5p served a key role in BMSC osteogenic differentiation of through targeting TMEM9, which may provide a novel target for clinical treatments of bone injury.

Abstract It has been reported that imatinib mesylate (IM) may affect bone tissue remodeling mainly by both an inhibitory activity on osteoclastogenesis and an induction of osteoblastogenesis. Dasatinib (DA) and Nilotinib (NI) are new generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors presently approved for chronic myeloid leukemia patients after imatinib failure. We therefore evaluated possible effects of DA and NI on osteoblatic differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells derived from bone marrow (BM-MSCs). BM-MSCs are multipotent non-haematopoietic progenitor cells that differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, skeletal myocytes and nervous cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) were obtained from bone marrow samples of normal healthy adult bone marrow donors, isolated by density gradient (mononuclear fraction) and cultured either in standard medium (SM) or in osteogenic medium (OM) (0.2 mM ascorbic acid, 0.1 μm dexamethasone and 10 mM β-glycerophosphate) with or without DA 2nM or NI 100nM. Osteogenic differentiation of hBM-MSCs was evaluated by changes in morphology, presence of mineralized nodules (evidenced by Alizarin red) and expression of osteoblast-associated genes such as osteocalcin (OCN), RUNX2 and Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP-2) evaluated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and analyzed by Scion Image. After 21days of culture, in comparison to control cultures, hBM-MSCs placed in OM, DA, NI and DA+OM, NI+OM exhibited changes in cell morphology from a spindle-shaped fibroblastic appearance to a rounder more cuboidal shape and the cells formed an extensive network of dense multilayered nodules (extracellular mineralization). Table I indicates mRNA expression of osteogenic markers in different culture conditions and shows that both DA and NI alone or in combination with OM, increase RUNX2, OCN, and BMP-2 expression. SM DA NI OM DA + OM NI + OM SM= standard medium, OM= osteogenic medium, DA= dasatinib, NI= nilotinib In summary, our data show that both DA and NI, as already reported IM, may induce osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal cells thus indicating that they potentially favour osteoblastogenesis.

Objectives: Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) both promote osteogenesis of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). IGF-1C, the C domain peptide of IGF-1, and P24, a BMP-2-derived peptide, both have similar biological activities as their parent growth factors. This study aimed to investigate the effects and their mechanisms of polypeptides IGF-1C and P24 on the osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. Methods: The optimum concentrations of IGF-IC and P24 were explored. The effects of the two polypeptides on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs were examined using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining, ALP activity assay, alizarin red S staining, qPCR, and western blotting. In addition, specific pathway inhibitors were utilized to explore whether p38 and JNK pathways were involved in this process. Results: The optimal concentrations of action were both 50 g/ml. IGF-1C and P24 synergistically promoted the proliferation of BMSCs, increased ALP activity and the formation of calcified nodules and upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of osterix (Osx), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osteocalcin (Ocn), phosphorylation level of p38 and JNK proteins also improved. Inhibition of the pathways significantly reduced the activation of p38 and JNK, blocked the expression of Runx2 while inhibiting ALP activity and the formation of calcified nodules. Conclusions: These findings suggest IGF-1C and P24 synergistically promote the osteogenesis of BMSCs through activation of p38 and JNK signal pathways.
